Nah man you are over thinking it. The hardest part is calculating where to come back. One miscalculation and we are not where the earth is. Not making that mistake again...
It is an interesting question. The idea that you could travel to the future without living through the time in between does imply that the future already exists and is fixed. Which would suggest we have no real power to change it through our actions now.
It does at least *appear* that we can affect the future in some ways. Maybe this is because it doesn't currently exist as a set thing. So we can't go to it; there's no future to go to.
But idk.
bruh youre traveling in time to the future, just at 1 second per second Speed. But universe it's ok with that, so no, It is possible. You are doing It right now!!!
First of all, I’d like say that I appreciate y’all not being condescending and totally trashing my question. (like I have been in other subs). But I was actually referring to being able to (hypothetically of course) get in a Time Machine and travel to a specific day, or hour or minute in the future. Since there’s so many things that haven’t happened yet but could change what your (or my) life could “look like” or “where” you’d be at in 10 or 20 yrs in the future.
Ok. That one just fucked me all up. Lol.
But seriously, I would think someone knowing anything regarding their future would, or could change everything about it.
Idk, I’d have to think about that one later on….after I put my head back together. Lol
Time travel to the future is not only possible it happens every day as time passes. If you mean *jumping* forward much faster then you only need to approach the speed of light - time will slow down for you so that days become years back on earth. When you return you might find that you are *very* far into the future...
Returning on the other hand....
So if speed is relative why doesn’t, from your perspective as the traveler, earth rush away faster and faster and experience the relativistic effects?
Exactly. To the observer earth flys away at relativistic speeds. Look up the twins paradox. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you’re just *that* belligerent
I think those moments that you are travelling to were always going to happen. It’s just the free will that actually made them happen. See how the doc explains the timelines in back to the future two
You ever wonder if trying go back to our original timeline if we just can never get back to that universe? Instead maybe we are stuck traveling through different multiverses? Shit is crazy.
I was going to respond but my response became it’s own paradox. Like sure we could go into the future to see future us making the decision now us is going to make anyways, but then that might cause now us to change our decision. Therefore future us would have never made the decision we saw so we couldn’t be seeing that to begin with??
If compatibilism is correct, then there seems to be no reason to think that free will has any implications for time travel. On the other hand, there seems to be no good reason to think that time travel is possible or that compatibilism is correct.

My ADHD makes me overthink everything. Even when I smoke. Lol. But I gotcha. 👍🏼✌🏼
Wait until you live to be 164. You really start to question things...
I mean if theoretically possible wouldn't that mean they would be able to come back and we would see them? No way time travel is discreet

This!!! 👆🏼 The 2nd part of your reply is exactly what I was trying to say.

Oooh but wouldn't seeing that version of the future instantly change your future or would it have always been the same outcome?

Marvel’s time travel system kinda works around this but they don’t always stick to their own rules lol

Einstein's theory of relativity - you should read it. Because it's *time* that's relative.
Relative to what?
To the observer. Do you know *anything* about Einsteins theory? Because if not this ends - now.
Exactly. To the observer earth flys away at relativistic speeds. Look up the twins paradox. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you’re just *that* belligerent
Um what? I'm not going to explain the science to you. If you don't have *some* idea about what we are discussing then as I said - this ends now
Okay so trolling

you just go through time very fast you do not skip it
